Best book for Microsoft Publisher 2003

[Joe Wasik]

There aren't many (any?) books on Microsoft Publisher 2003. What's up
with that? It looks like I'll have to settle for an all-inclusive
Office book that happens to include Microsoft Publisher 2003. From
what I've read so far, the most recommended book is "MS Office Systems
2003 Inside and Out." Unless I hear otherwise, that's the one I'll
buy. Or perhaps I should just buy a different publishing software.
So, suggestion solicited, good book or new software? Anyone please!
Thanks.

Did you have any questions we could help you with?

BTW, Publisher 2000 books such as By Design will pretty much work with
Publisher 2003. Those are available from MSPress.

Try and find a Publisher 97 manual and study that, then learn the quirks and
poor interface of Publisher 2003.
Overall I think Publisher 2003 is a great product, but the interface is
crook compared to Publisher 97 and always will be in the future.

Yeah yeah, right. NOT.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I did some research on my own and
feel compelled to post the results. Visited a Border's store and I
checked out "MS Office 2003, Inside and Out". Didn't see any
references to Publisher in the index -- that's not a good sign. It may
have been in the book, but I couldn't find it. Don't know why someone
would have recommended that book to me. So I looked at "Using MS
Office 2003". It had a couple of chapters devoted to Publisher. I
wound up buying "Using". Other suggested books (like "In Design")
were not in stock. At least I wound up with a version specific text.
Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you. Yes, I did see the book this link points to, and I also
saw its "advanced" version. It looked tempting, but its description
and publisher (Course Technology) make it sound more like a classroom
text rather than a standard computer book. Amazon offered no user
review or even a cover picture. So I went with the "Using" book.
